  • Peaceful pitches in the Surrey Hills, 10 minutes' drive from Dorking
  • Box Hill, Leith Hill and Denbies Wine Estate within 20 minutes' drive
  • Lake on site for fishing and waterside walks; dogs and kids welcome
A slice of the slow life in the Surrey Hills National Landscape – sound good? In a rural spot about 10 minutes’ drive from Dorking, Henfold Lakes is a place that’s all about countryside calm and simple pleasures – think long walks, quiet morning coffees in the open air, evenings chatting under the stars, kids scampering about rather than scrolling… This family- and dog-friendly site is tucked away among peaceful woodlands and open countryside on the edge of the National Landscape, putting you within easy reach of lots of gorgeous scenery and walking trails. For a bit more outdoor activity, there’s a fishing lake on site where guests can cast out a rod or take a walk by the water’s edge… or just pick a quiet spot and do nothing, of course. There’s plenty of space to relax at this site, with roomy pitches where you’re welcome to set up various bits of kit like a gazebo, awning and outdoor table. Simple facilities stretch to just toilets and showers; no unnecessary extras to spoil your peace. You’ll be able to pick up snacks, drinks and picnic supplies at the shops and supermarkets in Dorking, and there are a couple of pubs within a five-minute drive for when you fancy eating out.

What customers say

Reviewers praise the friendly and helpful staff, spacious pitches, and lovely surroundings, noting good fishing opportunities and ample space for dog walking. Some recent comments highlight upgraded facilities and clean showers. However, recurring feedback mentions the need for more toilet and shower blocks, with some guests finding existing facilities, including portaloos, not cleaned regularly or to a high standard. The bumpy entrance lane and occasional noise from construction or aeroplanes were also noted.

Electric grass pitch

Liked • Massive pitches so aren’t on top of each other
• Lots of space for dog walks
• Facilities close to our pitch
• Great for kids to run wild and use imagination
• Toilet and shower in one cubicle made things so much easier with kids. Big enough for everything not to get wet whilst showering

Disliked Bathrooms dirty. Not just floors as this is expected when camping but the toilet and sinks.

 Begoña F. 1 review

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Mucho espacio disponible y gente muy amable. Precio asequible para pasar la noche. Las instalaciones estaban cuidadas y las limpiaban a menudo.

Disliked No tuvimos posibilidad de reservar una parcela con electricidad en la web a pesar de que cuando llegamos había varias disponibles. Es todo un gran descampado, sin árboles que resguarden del clima. Solo hay 3 duchas para todo el camping, que son también los lavabos principales. El resto de lavabos son químicos portátiles. El sitio lo proponen en la web como cercano a Londres, pero realmente no es así. Está alejadísimo del transporte público (40 minutos andando por carretera estrecha de doble sentido sin arcén ni iluminación) y el tren tarda más de una hora en llegar a la ciudad desde la estación más cercana (Dorking).

Local attractions

The Surrey Hills National Landscape is packed with outdoor options – intrepid hikers and cyclists can tackle trails at Box Hill and Leith Hill (both 20 minutes’ drive) while watersports enthusiasts sign up for paddle activities with The Surrey Hills Adventure Company (15 minutes) and golfers play a round at Dorking Golf Club (five minutes). There are plenty of less active options around too – perhaps take a vineyard tour at Denbies Wine Estate (10 minutes), learn a bit about beer at Dorking Brewery (five minutes) or wander around National Trust - Leith Hill Place (15 minutes). The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden (15 minutes) is a top spot for art lovers, with Gatwick Aviation Museum (10 minutes) also close by for flight enthusiasts. Looking a little further afield, you could throw in trips to the gorgeous gardens at Nymans (25 minutes) and Kew Wakehurst (35 minutes), woodland walks in Winnie-the-Pooh’s home at Ashdown Forest (45 minutes) or a treat for the kids at Chessington World of Adventures (25 minutes).
